LOL

U do have $0.25 SNGs which u may play as much as u need.


There are 1FPP 3x-turbo satellites to sunday storm - I guess it's even better than 0,5$ (the less the better?)


u do have 0,5$ spins, enjoy


I think there is some $2 games, it's even cheaper than 1+R.

U can play all those games in the play money MTTs or freerolls.


What's the difference, I don't think people from those stakes cares about the RB.



But seriously now, poker is about the dream of winning big with thw low BI.
We need more high BI MTT's with a lot of low BI satellites. Recently there was a lot of 4x-turbo sats, pretty good idea. It would be also nice to create some weekly Turbo PSKO with $500-$700 BI, SKO HU tournament, maybe some $215 wednesdat PSKO or $320 SPSKO? Maybe Sunday High Roller with $2k BI (and $5-$10 4x-turbo satellites) or Monday Ultra Knockout with $1k BI, $250 into prizepool, $750 for bounty and turbo / hyper-turbo structure (with $2 4x-turbo sats).

Maybe it would be better to give "€1100 player choice live tournament ticket" for one, randomly choosen, lucky person in bounty builder tournaments instead of giving 9 $109 tickets for reaching the FT?

exculibrus, some lol replies.

A $0.50 spin and go isn't even close to the experience of a $1 hyper freezeout with 1k players. One is 3 handed or HU, the other is 6 max almost throughout.

Saying that non-holdem games should be played at play money only or freerolls is just silly. How much sense does it make to offer a $215-$530 buyin during WCOOP for a game like Stud Hi and have only one tournament in the daily schedule? You can't expect a player to start at freerolls/play money and then jump to the $27 game and suddenly play a $320 WCOOP. The gap is way too big.

I agree that turning a small buyin into a 5-figure score is a something all players aspire to, but you gotta have a solid foundation at the bottom for new players to learn the game. Raking a $1.50 SNG at 16% instead of 10% just makes it that much harder for players to move up.

yeah there's no need to tear other posters down like that exculibrus. Uhrenknecht had some valid suggestions/feedback.

yeah, recs love getting 3$ for first, but the 0.55$ Bounty Builder gets 10k players easily.

They're rake free at least, but it is too variancy with those 500 starting stacks.


I'd rather watch 5 ronaldo documentaries in a row than that.

you think, but there aren't.

Nope, I am self-banned for play money as I busted my roll buying play money chips to sit on nosebleedplaymoneytables.


not to say that effective rake on ps is way higher than on 888 anyway.

We think it is in the favor of the recreationals to rake more than 15% before the regs take that money. They will earn more star coins through it too.

lol wp

LOL, youre funny Uhrenknecht. Nice replies

Ok, I didn't say that, I meant the MTTs with <$2 BI. There is a lot of $2,2 (atleast there was). Anyway about the non-hoild'em games it's more up to players than pokerstars. Some time ago (one year?) they made the big promotion of those games.

Well, the COOP evenes are specific and u imho u shouldn't treat them as a std offer.
Anyway I get your main point and I agree to that.


+1 I was way too harsh for Uhrenknecht. Sorry for that. Uhrenknecht I meant, not you


Ok, but there is a lot of $1-$2 reg speed MTTs. I know it would be good for a players but imho it's just not good for the poker ecosystem. pokerstars is still the most ultra micro stakes tolerant poker room.


Oh, I didn't knew it's 500c. Still, aren't there some $0,11 3x-turbo sats?

made my day

Ok, I have to agree with this one. It's not okay to take more rake from lower stakes games.

Hope this million with 3 re entries is a one off?

20th march 10 mil gtd

stars introducing the re-entry format in classic vanilla mtts?

I felt they'd pull off something really stupid, thanks stars.

in the lobbies of mtts, it still shows you vip rewards in VPP's.

Yes, what would you like to see there?

Re entry only way possible to hit the 10mill gtd unless they raised the buyin

Hopefully do a better job with sats this time compared to the special mill in december

How come they managed to get 10m+ prizepool on the 9th Anniversary? What has changed? Surely 10th Anniversary should be possible without gimmicks, but no, Stars needs to be super safe and screw the guys who can afford just one buyin. Just painful to see and I'm a bit butthurt about it because I'll most likely fire just one bullet. I play SM a couple times a year (SCOOP/WCOOP/Anniversary/other promos) due to my job and this was something I was really looking forward to, now I'm excited and disappointed at the same time.

There was a site in history of online poker which started introducing reentries and multientries to keep up the gtds. That was FTP. Keep it up.

uhhh its called the 10th anniversary so ya probably a one off

They had to make it reentry to get the 10 milball prize pool. Don't see anything wrong with it.

Didnt know 9mill one created 10mill+

Then this one defo shouldnt be re entry.Too cautious from stars.

How dare they

it got 10 mil last year and clearly a 10th anniversary has more power than a 9th to attract players. Just seems a shame and a slippery slope when they making the most iconic online mtt in history a gimmick.

HEY LUKE, put everything back one hour in the new schedule, you ll like it trust me my friend

+1

What?! 3x reentry? Single reentry maybe but 3x? Why??

sorry got mixed up between vpps and fpps

-1000 from me too for the anniversary SM being a 3x Reentry.

exactly this.

just promote it as you should, run good and many sats and the gtd should be no problem. you reached it last year. there is plenty of time and there is nothing else on to take focus from it.

if you can't reach the gtd that way or are too afraid of an overlay, you should have it a 5M gtd and keep it as it was, regular freezout.
(5M is stil 5x the weekly million gtd, noone would complain)

simply put, the only way a $10m guarantee is achieveable without re-entry is by offering a huge range of satelites well in advance of the tournament with loads of guaranteed seats, which would be an absolute goldmine for regs and would directly conflict with Stars new policy of minimising opportunities for players to make money from playing poker
